I too have been working on my Dometic getting ready for a trip in July- August
throught the heartland of the USA and Canada  Newfoundland to Black Hills SD
and back.   Made the ducting and computer brushless fan conversion to quiet
the old fan and improve heat exchange.  Also sorted our that the AC cooling
really does work, this after  8 years of using this beast.   Amazing the
revelations which come when following the wiring diagrams, relays etc to
understand and test how things really work.   In the process of  getting the
box out and back in somewhere there as a stress on the little bakelite knob
that adjusts the thermostat for regulating the temperature and the stem has
cracked off and no longer engages the shaft on the thermostat.   Any
suggestions for replacing this item or anyone who has a spare from a salvaged
parts unit?  This is what I think is a Dometic 182 in a 1982 Westfalia.  It
has the little meter for detecting the pilot light, in addition to the sight
hole to actually see the flame.

Cheers,
